Learning Intention: On your blog tell us whether you think logging should be allowed in New Zealand. Be sure to provide at least two reasons to support your argument.
I think logging should not be allowed here in New Zealand. I think this because when people cut trees down they are forcing animals like birds to move and find somewhere else to live. Without warning of these birds moving the tree could fall when the cut it and birds nests and their eggs and chicks could fall out of a tree. Logging is also killing our environment. Its killing all our native trees and other trees that could come extinct from this or endangered.
Even though I think logging should not be allowed here in New Zealand I still think there should be a specific amount of trees they are allowed to cut down so this can decrease the number of trees and animals dying from the logging.
Activity 2 Week One Day Five, Tundra Learning Intention: On your blog, write a letter to your best friend or a family member telling them about your trip to the tundra. To earn full points your letter must have a greeting (eg. Dear…) followed by 5 – 6 sentences of information about what your experience.
Kia Ora Cailan,
Its Jack here. This is a letter showing and telling you my experience so far to the Tundra. I wish you had of came it would of been so much cooler and you could experience this as well. This is definitely different compared to Greymouth the weather isn't on and off its just one freezing cold temperature. The first day we came here we did heaps of activities such as mark o polo because its a wide area and harder to play. It took a lot getting used to the weather when we first came to the tundra. Tomorrow we are coming back are you excited?
From Jack
Activity 3 Week One Day Five, Aotearoa
Learning Intention: On your blog, post a description of life in New Zealand in 2018. Please remember that the people who read your post will have never been to New Zealand or even seen a picture so it is your job to ‘paint a picture’ of New Zealand using your words. You can also post pictures, if you wish. Be sure to fully attribute the pictures.
Aotearoa (New Zealand) the small country with a big name. Unusual birds flutter smoothly over my head wondering what the name of it was. The sound of the waves crashing ashore. The tall mountains covered in bright tense snow. Huge Pohutakawa trees bloom their flowers close to Christmas time leaving a dark pink forest. Dark grey clouds rolling into the bright shining sky changing the weather to sprinkling rain. Bustling crowds of tourists cover the streets with new languages.
Hi Jack
ReplyDeleteIt is good to see that you have strong opinions on what should happen with the logging. I think that we should be able to log trees that are grown just for this purpose. Trees give us wood to build houses and this creates jobs for people also. I think if they re plant the trees once they cut them down that is ok.
I don't think that they should cut down native trees, they should just be left alone.
It sounds like it is really cold in the Tundra. It is always fun if you can share the new experiences with someone else.
I don't like the cold so I would be no good somewhere like the Tundra. I know sometimes it is cold here but I would prefer our weather to that in the Tundra. I can't even imagine what -28 degrees below zero it like! It just sounds crazy!
Wow Jack! This piece of writing that is describing a very natural New Zealand. I love that you have call us a small country with a bug name. That is a great saying. I can just imagine that sound of the birds fluttering over my head while sitting outside. It sounds amazing. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place.
I really like the Pohutakawa trees at Christmas time. When you drive down High Street in Greymouth and all the trees are in flower it looks incredible.
Well done with this activity. You are doing a great job.
Until next time
Allie :)
